Reliquia de "La Ciudad Espiritual" BIBLOS del Caminante Solitario.

I wrote few years ago: «There is a man in a small town in Madrid who has been building a "cathedral" for 56 years because of a promise he made to the Virgin when she was cured of tuberculosis. This cathedral has been built with his own hands thanks to the capital that his family owned and to the disinterested help of some people. Justo Gallego has no studies of any kind and, of course, he has no knowledge of architecture, but still has raised this unique and majestic work. Now that he is 92 years old, many people are thinking about the future of the cathedral, which has neither a license of execution nor official support from the Catholic Church, so it is possible that when he dies, this work will end in rubble. As a Samuel Beckett’s play, an absurd story. Metaphor of human life and beliefs». Yesterday this man died at 96 years old but he donated before die this work to the NGO Mensajeros de la paz so that they finish his cathedral.
